It fell just beyond the valley and now blocks the main water supply. As the land dries and thirst increases, the different species of dinosaurs who once coexisted peacefully become fractious. Suddenly Littlefoot and his friends are no longer allowed to play together. As bigotry and bickering increase, Littlefoot's gang decides that it's up to them to save the day. Since they went outside the valley in the last sequel, they know where water can be found, and though the Great Beyond is populated by tyrannosauruses and other carnivores, the youngsters know that they and their parents must take that risk in order to survive.

There are sufficient action scenes, however, to keep small persons attentive, and enough plot (the valley where the creatures live runs out of water and they argue over rationing while searching for a new source) to hold the action together.

All you need to do is see the title to know you oughta stay away from it, right? Seriously, the first Land Before Time is the only one worth watching.

The Time of the Great Giving has Littlefoot and Co. trying to find water for the great valley. I had weird flashbacks during this film, as a trailer for it was on the Balto VHS I used to own. So certain lines transported me back 14 years. The songs aren't as bad and are easily ignorable. There are some good messages here, not just about the obvious kiddie sharing crap, but also a message for parents on trying to teach and control their children with anger. It feels as though we get a lot more of the adults here, and there are enough action sequences to keep the pace going.

The concept and morals are still there. This time we focus on sharing as the movie really shows kids how to be less wasteful and share with those who are in need. Truly though it suffers from the same thing the sequal did, the enemies, which this time besides a few mere second run in with raptors (which gives it a few bonus points because we get introduced to a new predator) the enemies are really just "bully" dinasours in the valley and never anything to threatening. In fact there to silly to be threatening, and while this is great for kids, it's not really anything special for us children who were spoiled with the true fruit of this franchise - the original.
It's worth a watch and little kids will really enjoy it but it does not do the series justice.

The animation was degraded even further and the dialogue is even more corny. I think it should've been left as one movie.
